Supplementing Video: Guardian Hands Out IPhones

The Guardian has given 20 of its general reporters iPhones in a bid to "take advantage" of the latest mobile photography and video technology to "supplement" the news outlet's
existing video output. The trial saw Guardian reporters
handed iPhones a few weeks ago, and since then around eight or nine pieces of output have resulted from this, according to national editor Dan Roberts. Speaking to Journalism.co.uk he said the
Guardian has been talking about "trying to equip more of our news reporters with iPhones" for a while, and is using this trial to decide whether it is something they want to roll out more widely.
